On social media, you gain followers quickly and lose them slowly.
While I agree, recently I saw that one of my favourite youtubers had suddenly lost more than 500k followers (down to 2.7M from 3.2M. I'm still trying to figure out what could have caused this massive and rapid loss of followers.
One assumption I made is that YT deliberately slashed the followers. Perhaps Google slashed many inactive gmail accounts.
That's wild. I've never seen anyone experience a drop like that from being "canceled" or any other viral faux pas, but I can see how a bot-detection algorithm might do that.
